cheese is a health food!

My sister has gone bat shit crazy on so called healthy good. She keeps saying that cheese is a junk food. How long earth can it be a junk food? It's full of vitamins, calcium and other good stuff. The government advice for children is to have 3 portions of dairy every single day, so cheese can not possibility be a junk food.

I would say cheese is good for you as it is full of protein, calcium, B vitamins, fat (which yes we do need!). Of course it's not a good idea to eat cheese with every single meal but the same could be said of just about any other food.

Which most people get from cooking lubricants and other sauces, we almost certainly don't need cheese but we also don't need to cut it out completely.Some people can't just have a match box size piece of cheese every other day, if they have 300g block of cheddar in the fridge they eat 200g. For people with eating disorders cutting out all high calorie food can be the only option.

I have a thin slice of cheese with my toast at breakfast but my porridge is made with skimmed milk. I am trying to convince my niece that Baby Bels and cheese strings are not real cheese. I'm getting there and she's telling her friends too.

I had a match box sized amount for my snack earlier. Then a similar sized amount of 85% cocoa Green & Blacks. Was thinking of going out for a posh (low sugar) hot chocolate with loads of cream in a minute but probably won't get there before the cafe shuts. I'll have any spare cheese that's going thanks!
